The top of this page has the parts schematic for the standard arrangement of V6 HBV hoses.
Cars with no cruise control have a different hose connecting to the top port of the HBV.

The top of this page has the schematic for hoses of V6s built for Finland, Norway and Sweden. AIUI these cars have a secondary circulation pump which allows the cabin heater to run with the engine off, so long as the coolant is above a threshold temperature. Or maybe that's rubbish.

So before deciding the plumbing is incorrect you need to determine whether or not this is a Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian spec car as opposed to, for example, an imported German spec car? And if so does it have cruise control? Nice and simple.

What symptoms to you have? That make you think the plumbing is wrong?

Second paragraph... Part of the winter pack, fitted to all facelift DBW cars as standard possibly all facelift cars as they have climate control as standard  ;)
